This review is LONG overdue, but I'll do my best to make it worth the wait! Last August, my fiancé…read moreand I realized we needed to take dance lessons for our upcoming October wedding. We explored options in Ridgefield and found Fred Astaire. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and the pricing was reasonable, so we signed up for a package of classes. On our first day in the studio, we were greeted by Sebastian, who would be our instructor for the weeks ahead. He was incredibly friendly and empathetic to our lack of dance experience, making us feel comfortable from day one. After each class, we felt more confident and prepared for our big day. Sebastian was patient and even taught us moves we could use at other weddings in the future. We had so much fun learning from him and soaking in the vibe of the staff and the other (more professional!) dancers in the studio. We would 10/10 recommend Fred Astaire and Sebastian if you're looking to learn a thing or two about rhythm! I actually am nostalgic thinking of this time last year with them. Thank you!!!!

After a colleague recommended the studio and Manuel, my family connected with him to help us learn…read moresteps for a father-daughter Quinceañera dance. Not only did he help with steps, but he put in the work to actually help choreograph a number. Like a full-on dance, plus he orchestrated a beautiful experience for our family. He was kind, funny, and extremely collaborative to ensure Daddy and Daughter were confident and having fun. Two days before the event, I reached out and asked if he could help me (Mom) learn a simple step so that we could also have a moment with a dance as well. Wow! I have no exact words to express how happy and grateful I was that he fit me into his very busy schedule so that I, too could have my own moment with our daughter. When I say that I'm beyond grateful, it doesn't fully describe the superb experience we had at Arosa Balleoom and the most enjoyable time with a fantastic dance instructor. He is passionate about his craft and just a lovely person. We'll be forever grateful and kind of hooked. Maybe we will continue with instruction, because we may have to catch up to my colleague, who is not a bronze-level dancer! The studio is located in a great spot and has plenty of parking too. Don't just walk, but cha-cha yourself to Arosa if you want to learn a few steps. Highly recommended.

The new building/studios are beautiful, the atmosphere is challenging, yet still fun, and the people/instructors are the best you'll find in any New York City suburb. It is the perfect balance between preparing you for auditioning for companies and still letting each dancer have a fun, stress-relieving time (especially if going into ballet professionally isn't their cup of tea!) - a truly pre-professional school. They offer a wide variety of classes that all focus heavily on technique (the main focus of the studio is ballet). Dancers who start at the school at a young age and continue up through high school turn out to be excellent, extremely talented dancers with a devoted passion for the art, so I recommend enrolling as early as possible!

The monthly socials are so much fun. There is no pressure and we pay per lesson. We left a studio in Brewster that required extremely expensive contracts and demanded students take a minimum of two lessons a week! Deb's pricing allows students to take private or group lessons on their own terms. We take two private one hour lessons a month and attend the socials. There are group lessons almost every night of the week for those who choose that format. No partner required. Highly recommend !!!

As someone who didn't grow up dancing and who has rarely had experience in a dance class I was nervous to join the studio, but quickly felt welcomed by both the staff as well as other students. They offer a variety of dance disciplines as well as a trial class! Though what I love the most about here is that it is a non competitive environment and everyone is encouraged to make mistakes and grow as a dancer. The second most amazing part of this studio is that they offer adult classes! It's so rare to find places that offer classes to adults, so I am eternally grateful to have found this place!
